I think its just the body, The wheel gap isn't too bad. look now low the side skirts are. If it had an SVT body I think it would look a lot lower. The regular contour front/rear bumpers dont have the shape to compliment a lowered car. One other thing, is it just me or do the pictures seem compressed from the sides and stretched from the top and bottom? making the car look shorter and taller.

thats what I was thinkin...probably just the way he took the picture...but yeah now that you mention it I'm sure a body kit would change the whole look and make it appear lower than it actually is...

Sorry about the tangent.
Your car looks great with the HRs, I like it alot. I've thought about upgrading the springs on my SVT but am reluctant to becasue I'm afraid of lowering the car and damaging it over a high driveway or speed bump. Plus all the choices, BAT, Eibach, HR, and Ground Control, did I miss any.

Regardless of the body kit, the wheel gap in the front should be a bit smaller than the back with H&R's. The pics show a larger gap in front. I would guess that something is wrong. Here's a good example: Contour w/ SE sides and H&R's check out the side shot
